Coyote Blues is by far the best Mexican joint in town.

Get the smoked duck appetizer with raspberry sauce for an appetizer. You are doing yourself an injustice if you do not get the steak chimichanga as your entree. Be are to pick the corn grits and southwestern potatoes as your 2 sides.

Other highly notable items include:
Ceviche
Queso dip with meat
Steak Fajitas: best in the state
Stuffed Filet: great, but why go to a Mexican joint for a filet?
Charro Beans: these have an exceptional flavor for charro beans. Get these as a side for fajitas if you end up making the mistake of not getting the chimichanga.

Coyote Blues is the beat restaurant in BR, IMO.

As a Baton Rouge native that lived in Houston for 5 years, I can say for certain that best Mexican and Baton Rouge don't go in the same sentence. Can't find fault with Ninfa's not being good, none of the ones in Houston come close to matching the original on Navigation. Coyote Blues is the best of a really meh lot.

ETA-actually, some of the little authentic taquira's are pretty good, and I haven't been to all of them. Truthfully, even in Houston, the little family run dives are the best places to hit.

I like Fernando's over on Coursey for run of the mill everyday Mexican.

Coyote Blues if I want fancy Mexican food.

However, "fancy" and "Mexican food" are not two phrases I usually associate.
